I think Finn was actually an extremely well-written character (especially in light of Kim saying Finn was, to a certain extent, intentionally meant to be received by us in the way he was). Totally despicable and self-centred and obsessive and ultimately not cut out for the world he was thrown into, but well-written.

Why?

Because he’s real.

People just like Finn actually exist. They pretend they’re a Good Guy and a lot of the time, we believe them, but that’s just not the case and eventually all their bad qualities start to come out and reveal themselves and at the end of it all we’re left shaking our heads wondering - just like Clarke - how we could be so short-sighted not to have noticed it right from the beginning.

I think that’s part of the reason why so many of us hate him so much. He’s not a typical villain. He’s not even an anti-hero. He’s that guy you know.The one you thought might actually be different. He’s that guy you thought you liked … the one who turned out to be everything he told you he was not. He’s the guy that broke your heart, and the entire time tried to pretend he didn’t by covering up the wound with a flimsy little bandaid that falls off with each movement.

And then does it again, all the while sporting the complete and utter lack of self-awareness required to wonder why your cut is still bleeding.

Finn’s so real, so realistic, so plausible, that it’s honestly unsettling. He’s the kind of character that makes you wonder how many Finn’s are wandering around in your life right now that have yet to reveal themselves.

This isn't really a fanfic prompt, just headcanons I guess, but what do you think Julian would be like in the modern au? Like, what would he do? I've seen you write about both Lucio and Asra but no Julian yet so I'm just curious. (You can also include Nadia and Portia if you'd like!)

let me preface this by saying that this ask really helped cement my modern au headcanons for the cast. although the question was concerning high school clichés, i thought the answers worked well with college/university too.

now, here’s some of my modern au / college julian headcanons:

he’s ofc a pre-med student, hoping to become a doctor. after all you can’t be an unlicensed one in the 21st century, unless you want to go to jail, so he has to go through the typical channels

very focused; studies his ass off to the point it’s common for julian to look up from his books and realize it’s nighttime and he didn’t have lunch or dinner that day

during these times, portia tends to bust down his door and haul him out so he can eat something, you big doof

known by all of his professors, and by his first name to boot, because he regularly chats with them after lectures about the material they’re covering, and even material they aren’t covering; he’s so charming they all like him, and he even goes out to lunch with them from time to time

consistently at the top in all of his classes, to the point other students call him “doctor jules”, both to his face and whenever they speak of him

basically, both the faculty and the students know of him and a majority of these people think agreeably of him — he’s fairly well-known on campus

there’s a campus ‘pub’ called the rowdy raven (cause of course there is) which julian frequents; he’s usually there early in the morning or late at night, sporting some wicked dark circles

don’t expect to see him during finals season, but if you do happen to spot him on campus during this time, be prepared for some bizarre, sleep deprived behaviour

So a few days ago Jin tweeted something about changing his office? ( Not very clear yet?) If that’s the case, I’m extremely glad…well many people in the Japanese fandom are glad. Because basically, Jin seemed really disappointed on twitter with the plot making. He said something about one of the staffs forced him to give more spotlight to the popular characters when Jin wasn’t actually planning for it, or telling him to make the story more less dark or complicated just only for younger fans (Like????? Jin didn’t start the series that way??? Hello the very first song is about a boy being in huge depression???) Well, basically I believe that he was in a situation where he wasn’t 100% able to right a story in a way that he wants. So it would be great if he no longer needs to deal with those people.

House Stark of Winterfell is one of the Great Houses of Westeros and the principal noble house of the north. In days of old they ruled as Kings of Winter, but since Aegon’s Conquest they have been Wardens of the North and ruled as Lords of Winterfell. They are known for their willpower and determination.

I know season 6 was just posted to stream, but I keep seeing comments online from people who are watching the show not seeming to know that they’re not getting the whole show.

If you’ve only watched it on Netflix, you have not seen the complete show. About 8-10 minutes per episode has been edited out from the original UK versions (except for the Christmas specials). Netflix is a good way to discover the show, but it’s not the best way to keep watching it. I highly recommend finding the uncut versions and watching them. The DVDs are especially wonderful. They have the uncut episodes and they are easy to find to buy (various sources online and in stores), borrow (many public libraries) or rent (via Netflix DVD service).

You miss a lot of great scenes if you’re only watching the cut version. All characters are affected by the cuts, but a disproportionate amount of the cut scenes seem to involve the Turners and Patsy and Delia, so if you are a fan of either or both of these couples, I especially recommend watching the uncut versions. Also, little character moments and some key continuity scenes have also been cut in various episodes. It really affects the tone of the show. It’s such a great show, but it’s so much better when you can see all of it.

every conversation with my mother leaves me wanting to murder someone (preferably her or me) and half the time i end up crying so that’s just dandy i can’t wait to show up at dance with a red face from crying

hey :) no, sadly I do not know. I really hope it will. it seems very likely, since it has like 16 thousand views on Amazon Prime (which, as I understand it, is a lot for a pilot episode) - a lot more than any of the other pilots, and an 4,8/5 rating. and on top of that, Oasis and Mrs/Ms. Maisel… whatever are the only two shows still available out of the five pilots, and the Maisel one was greenlit, so it’s safe to assume Oasis has been, too, and it will be announced soon. that’s what I’m hoping for anyway :) I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t get a full season.
